I find it incredible that Harper would make a comment like this. Idealogically and practically speaking, Bush and Harper are on uncomfortably intimate terms. These two lead governments that have worked hand-in-hand to prevent as much forward momentum on climate change as they possibly could. Bali was an international embarrassment for this. Harper’s government has also taken to very strenuous public relations to cover up their inaction (or backpedalling) on many environment “files”, climate change among them. Focus the hatred on the Libs, then take credit for anything good that happens seems to be the approach our government currently uses.

But apparently Harper is such as US sycophant that even if they suddenly elect a leader who does not live in a reality bubble, he will follow the US lead on climate change?

Well, it’s good news if that is so, but hardly a positive comment about Harper as a leader.

It’s all about political expedience I’m sure. I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a nudge-nudge wink-wink from Harper to Bush about this, like “You know that I have to say this, and that I don’t really mean it.”

Just curious, why would there be a change next year, the con projecting a change of heart for themselves next year in creating a real plan to reduce emissions?….or a new president, and the expected action since both candidates are pledging to take….so…what are you implying he was meaning if it has nothing to do with who is president?

Yeah, him and Republican Dana Rohrabacher of California would like Bush not to show up at the 08 Republican Convention at all. This was in July 5th New York Times. Ouuch!

No wonder its so easy for Harper to dis King George the Worst now that George’s own party doesn’t want him to show up except at 5:00 AM, perhaps, on the Thursday morning before the end of the convention.

whether or not he said it - this isn’t a stab in the back for his right-wing compadre file it under ‘delaying tactics’ - i.e. no need to do anything now ‘cos next year it’s all going to be sorted - as if!

Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.

There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.

Officials in the state of Florida are finally taking action against climate change. They have declared war on global warming. They are taking a firm stand and making bold actions to finally end the threat of climate change.

But before you get too excited, we aren’t talking about the climate change that threatens our coastlines, water supplies, or agriculture. We’re talking about the actual language used to describe these events.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is no longer allowed to use the terms “climate change” or “global...
